That isn't the official title...it's an untitled project. It modernizes the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but it's not an actual film that's in production yet; the interview says SHE'S writing a film (script?) and songs, but who knows if she'll self-produce or if it'll get picked up by a studio or if nothing ever comes of it, haha. It sounds very much in the research/writing stage.
 
That said, maybe she should see if her friend Guillermo del Toro would like to direct...? 

OMG, this moment and WICKED GAME and DADDY ISSUES, I am dead. Best concert ever. Not even going to bother going, 'cuz the rest of the tour won't be this. Just gonna watch this one over and over.

YOU CAN BE MY FULL-TIME DADDY. Whew.   
 
I see no reason to think Lana is serious about him. Maybe she wants to play out her older guy fantasy, and then she'll move on...maybe after writing "Playing Dangerous Part II". Let's get in the back of your cop car, officer...

I wouldn't be at all surprised if she did "California" but only for the California shows...

 OH MY GOD, I had never ever heard the "hidden" lyrics in the bridge before. My wig is gone. I disliked the loud, aggressive guitar on that bridge anyway, so this is my new official version. 
 
You're hot, hot
Weather in the summer
High, high
Neglectful lover
Hot, hot
Weather in the summer
High, neglectful lover
You're crumbling, sadly
You're sadly, crumbling
 
So the "Heroin" bridge is a bit of a callback to this, too... ("hot, hot, winter in the city, somethin' bout this weather" etc)

The two duets are enchanting!   Probably the only time she'll do either live, so that's very special. I hope there are surprise guests on the rest of the tour! Random thought: what if Barry was in one of the California shows...and they dueted "Summer Wine" and then she sang "California" to him on stage? I get chills just imagining.

I like them together on stage. This feels much more alive than the studio version.

Shades of Cool   But did she for real do Wait for Life or is that a mistake?? 

I keep hearing it as "our love's a lie" instead of "alive" which would be a completely different song indeed. 

I love this song SO MUCH.    And it just struck me today that the lines
 
"I hope you remember me like this, Smokin' cigarettes in my sundress, Glamorous and gangtsa, oh yes."   ...are like a way more badass version of Taylor Swift on "Wildest Dreams":   "Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks"   (one of the only Tay songs I truly like, but still can't compare to Lana). Pure coincidence I'm sure, but it makes me laugh to think of Tay listening to this is 2013 and getting inspired to write the G-rated version and release it the very next year.

Maybe she was giving "devil horns" when she recorded it.    

I took it as her seeing all these perfect "Norman Rockwell" relationship images while acknowledging that her relationship is kinda messed up, which I love.
 
I've changed how I interpret the song; at first I thought she was comparing the man to Norman Rockwell (the actual artist), but after reading her interview: "Del Rey told Vanity Fair earlier this year that the album name was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the state of the American Dream. “It was kind of an exclamation mark: so this is the American dream, right now,” she said, adding that “this is where we’re at—Norman fucking Rockwell. We’re going to go to Mars, and Trump is president, all right.” The album is named for the iconic 1940s illustrator known for his patriotic depictions of America during World War II, a time when it seemed that America at least attempted to market itself as standing for some ideal."
 
So, the title of the song/album is a sarcastic take on America and on her relationship, like, "things are crazy in this country and I'm fucking a man-child who's a pretentious mess, not exactly a Norman Fucking Rockwell painting, now is it?!" We stan a sarcastic queen.
